I recently upgraded my horn from a buffet 100 to a hanson sa8 (funnily enough went there with the mindset of picking up a WO1 I've been drooling for over a year - was amazed how the hanson just simply felt better).
The thing is absolutely stunning... But... My jazz mpc, BL sms 1 85 just simply does not go on the crook far enough to play anywhere less then 15 cents flat at room temperature at the very best.
Has anyone had any experience of this? Admittedly I love the berg despite it looks and tired condition and don't fancy looking for anything else if it can be avoided. I messaged Berg and they offered to polish it for me and Ed Pillinger isn't quite available for something like this for a few weeks. Pictured is the mouthpiece in it's furthest condition before hitting the baffle.
